Let's Talk Awards...

Only when there's piling on to be done.

Truth. It's kind of like when Batman responds to the Bat-signal.

[Sully]

Why so serious?

[Dave]

Why so serious?

And there he is, the Commissioner Gordon to my Batman, as it were....

Did you see TDK yet? If not, why not?

(Note: "I'm gay" is not an acceptable answer).

[Lintyfresh85]

I think JJ wants to show Sully a magic trick...

No, I didn't. Seeing it next weekend.

I had a good Gremades joke when I was back on page 2 but I guess now isn't the time.

I'll be interested to see if people give Zamora the nod for New Brew in the DL. If he'd played a full season, then I think it's a no brainer. I'm biased, but I think as long as he doesn't fall way off, by the time the end of the season comes around he'll have ~100 games played, and with those stats, I think he'd have the best arguement. And I think Keppel is just about a no brainer for SS myself.

It's only Aug 20th.. .a lot can happen between now and the end of the season... i mean, Keppel still has plenty of time to distance himself from all the other chumps in the DL.

[Jim]

I don't think I'm being biased but while Zamora has had a nice season I think Corona has a good shot to win it...and Molenza is even throwing his hat in for ROY honors:

Zamora: .331, 26 2B, 11 3B, 24 RBI, 9 SB

Corona: .289, 16 2B, 4 3B, 13 HR, 65 RBI, 10SB

Molenza: .269, 31 2B, 13 3B, 9 HR, 72 RBI, 6 SB

[Guest]

lol, I didn't even bring his name into this thread....and how the fuck did I make it personal?

Everyone's so damn sensitive. Maybe should add having a pair to the league's mandatory requirements.

I'm not sensitive...but see, everyone else goes about it in a humorous and tasteful way, but when you do it it's as if you're saying "I'm genuinely trying to piss you off and not be funny in the least". It's only a sim league, you don't need to have personal vendettas against other GM's.

I think you're reading something into it that isn't there. Sully busts people's chops with the best of them, but I don't ever see his posts as viscious or personal.

That's the nature of internet forums and leagues like this. Unfortunately (or fortunately) everyone tends to have a reoccuring joke at their expense. Shit... that's true outside of the internet... I know some of my buddies and I have been bustin' balls about the crap that happened 20 years ago.

Right now your running joke/label is the "Gremades v Keppel" thing. No one EVER attacked you personally... it's all just part of the game.

Look on the bright side.... no one calls McCrotch... or Pat Smear.

Are my guys gonna have to compete against yours for New Brew every year? I guess that's a good thing for the Pilsner.

And I don't think it's biased at all, they all have legit arguments. But if Zamora keeps up his pace... in just over half the games that your boys have, Zamora already has the highest VORP...

Molenza 29.1 VORP .776 OPS
Corona 25.0 VORP .761 OPS
Zamora 29.9 VORP .857 OPS

Your guys have the RBIs, but if I didn't have Zamora in the leadoff spot, he'd be at least a little closer. Like someone else said, there's a lot of time left.

[Clay]

Exactly... I see the DL New Brew going down to the end. The IL is just about sewn up... Dani Alvarez should not only win it... you could make a case to at least see some votes for Stout Slugger. He'd be the 2nd Dani/Danny to win the IL New Brew and the one with the far gayer spelling of his name.

Look at it this way JJ, if Gremades was a bum, no one would rag on him, or even talk about him. It's a sign of respect that his name stays on peoples lips... or keyboards.

Wait a second, you actually pay attention to what Sully has to say?

You're not sensitive?
Where does my supposed personal vendetta come from? When you were about to make that ridiculous trade with Davenport a year ago, didn't I spend about 30 minutes on AIM trying to explain the financials to you? You have a fragile ego. Like Clay said, I was only busting chops. I do think it's hilarious that Andrew brought his name into the thread. I say something, and you go into a little bitch-fit. Alrighty...

Look, I'll leave you alone from this point on. It's obvious you can't take it.

Good lord...
